    Humidity and cooling down

    If at home; getting in a cool bath(not ice cold -don't like that) for a few minutes, made that horrible hot day bearable. as long as you keep the water clean you can get back in every so often. i had several dips over the course of the evening. also as other people have said wet towels./buff etc...

    Banned dogs - thoughts

    I wonder what solutions experts like vets and the RSPCA might suggest. Either way somebody eg the government,councils need to grasp the problem and sort it. I don't know how though. I am a dog lover and pretty competent at controlling my little lovely mutt. I would be a bit cautious about...

    Warm and Wet (but not in a good way)

    Nearly...shorts underneath, berghaus waterproof trews on top but they had a mesh lining and felt soft and not clammy. Maybe that's why I felt ok. I walked up through Gordale scar,raining all day in July, then over the hills probably 3 hours total. Was only working hard first 30 mins when I...

    if you don't have cash for 'bits' as you say maybe you should get involved in your local Men in Sheds' who might be able to point you in a potential direction for free materials. although they do mostly woodwork I am positive they could help you with metal bits. My day job is setting up...

    Guitar players amongst us?

    I play but have enough guitars. Can I ask where you feel the pain? I am 61 with no arthritis but I may have one day. I sometimes think about it. Also ,as I am sure you know , a music shop would give you way below the value they are worth. It's always great to talk about guitars and guitar...

    Fjällräven quality changing?

    It doesn't give me peace of mind at all actually. I just bought my greenland jeans from trekkit 10 days ago and paid £150. The seam has now come apart on the left leg. Oh boy! What a shock.I am not a rich person to throw £150 away. I will be asking for a full refund. What a hassle and waste of...

You may end up with a bigger problem. One of the problems is that with temperatures over about 20 degrees they reproduce in...
